Specification describing certain Improve- 'ments in Fin ger-Protectors, invented by WAL- TER J. BU'DINGTON, of Lancaster, in the county of Lancaster and State of Pennsylvania.

An instrument to be placed on the finger of the person sewing, either upon the right or left hand, or upon the finger of such hand liable to be pricked while the person is sewing. I claim for the instrument perfect pro tection to the finger from pricks. I claim for my invention the only method whereby such a result can be arrived at.

It consists in a piece of metal, A, of any kind, so formedto rest upon the finger, and held there by a strap of leather or other flexible material, B.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a fingerprotector composed of the plate A and elastic or flexible band or strap B, constructed as shown and described.
